We all know what Memorial Day means it’s the unofficial start of the summer season. People start hitting the shore as often as possible and the roads between here and there become traffically challenged until fall arrives. And we can wear white pants and straw hats.

Well, you can wear white pants if you want. I’m not sure I ever owned a pair of white pants. (The closest I got was back in the 1970s, when folks bought packages of something that was made to give new blue jeans that faded look. If you weren’t careful your indigo jeans would wind up so light blue they looked almost white. Still, that was an accident, Iswear.)
